Eric Reid Draft Stock Rising

quote:A league source tells The Sideline View's Lance Zierlein that LSU S Eric Reid's stock is "on the rise," and that he could sneak into round one.

quote:Reid is a big hitter who showed well at the Combine, but questions about his cover skills have had him almost exclusively projected as a day-two pick. Rotoworld draft guru Josh Norris believes "perceived athletic upside" would be the only reason Reid goes in round one. Source: Lance Zierlein on Twitter Apr 10 - 2:51 PM

Makes sense. The closer to draft time, the more teams start drooling over measureables

I hate to say I told you so. I figured he would move up to day 1. Just to add to my hunch, besides having all the measureables Reid is very smart. Don't sell him short. He may have been trying to do too much last year and was overcompensating, but he has too many positives not to be a good pro. I think he will pick up any system he is in very quickly and will be playing soon.
